Guys, how many dome lamps were fitted to a 1940 "standard" Fordor sedan?

Thanks!

I believe they had one just like the deluxe cars on each pillar posts.

I'm confused now! How can you have ONE.....if there's ONE on each of the TWO pillar posts? DD

The Deluxe models had one on each B pillar. Total of two.
So, in your opinion, the so called "standard" model Fordor also had a total of two lamps?

1939 RHD sedans had the switch on the left .
According to Gary Mallast there was a dome lamp on either side.

I know the ford and Mercury cars were different but my 39 mercury has a light at the top on each B pillar

Still searching for an answer to my question: How many dome lamps were fitted to a 1940 Ford "standard" Fordor?" Anyone?

I should have clarified my answer by saying "they had one on each pillar post just like the deluxe cars."

The salesmans manual page 11 reads: Rear compartment lamps in the two Sedans are located on the door pillars with switch on the right-hand side.
